I finally figured out the big, elusive secret to weight loss. Don’t eat! Who knew?”

Weight: Who give a rat’s ass?

Laying in bed with my iPad trying to organize my thoughts.  I was able to sleep but woke every few hours with my chest gurgling.

I realized that yesterday should have been a summary day but when you are this sick it’s hard to do anything but focus on sleep.

I’m going to skip the summary this week and wait until the 28th and do my monthly summary.

Once again snow is falling and all I can do is dream about nice weather and  being on my bike.  For the first time in my life I can imagine leaving Ohio for warmer climates.  As I lay here my mind wanders.

Weight: Sick

Whatever I have has moved into my lungs causing coughing fits and overall pain. The sneezing feels like some spastic slap on the back.   I’ve spoken to friends and they all call it The Plague.  It moved through their families sometimes over days and sometimes over weeks.  I had a fitful sleep last night and will be back in bed soon.

Forget about calories – everything makes thin people thinner, and fat people fatter.

Weight 274.8

Slightly better.  I have absolutely no energy.  Every few hours I have to get back into bed and sleep.

Last night a thick blanket of snow fell and I am so glad I am retired.  For so many years I worked ten to twelve hours a day in the weather.  I don’t miss it.

I’m pretty sure there’s a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

Weight 274.6

Slept all day yesterday.  My nose has been running like a fire hose.  That’s okay because noses run in my family.  Feel worse today.  I’ve been living on chicken broth.  I can feel the salt saturate my body.  I’ll probably gain ten pounds of water weight this weekend.  I can’ t remember the last time I felt this bad.  Oh well, Spring will be here soon.  All will be right with the world.

I did every diet: Atkins. Cabbage-soup diet. Dean Ornish. But I couldn’t live the rest of my life like a rabbit.

Weight 274.4

Sick as a dog.  It’s been going around.  The plan is to spend the day in bed and see if it passes.

I’m a little concerned as many of my friends have been sick for weeks.  We’ll see how it goes.
